Pros

Good benefits. ESOP program with this company is attractive if you stay there long enough. Some perks from other companies in the industry: sporting event tickets, concert tickets, etc.

Cons

Company on the Good Ole' Boy system. You need to hang out with the right group to advance in the branch. Many family groups work here so they have each others backs and they tend to get good positions and not be held as accountable as the average employee. You don't really have an option to move up to the corporate side. This company takes the strategy to buy out the competition so most of the VPs and Execs are either long time Freeman family friends or were part of a buyout deal to keep them on as an exec.

Pros

The pros were the per diem and the opportunity to travel. I really enjoyed visiting new cities and collaborating with kind, interesting people from across the country at different show sites. The pay was also very strong during busy seasons.

Cons

If you want to join a company where employees are undervalued, expected to obey rather than think critically, and favoritism is openly visible, then please avoid this company. The environment often felt heavily micromanaged at every level of leadership, with experiences of both covert and overt racism in the workplace. There was also a strong sense of competition and distrust among coworkers, where people would undermine one another for personal gain. Leadership and upper management appeared far more focused on optics and appearances than the actual well-being of the employees working on the show floor.
